    I think a lot of threads would benefit from key posts ('owners' club threads with specific game fixes, for instance). As far as I know that's not available to anyone but moderators. I think key posts might get conflated with 'likes' if it's an option made available to the masses, but perhaps the option to nominate posts would help balance assisting users in finding important information without diluting the feature. Moderators (and/or maybe the thread OP) could review the key post nominations and make a decision on whether that post deserves elevation.

    Key posts are available to ‘editors’. There may be a list of us somewhere.

    Feel free to PM me with the thread and posts you would like keyed, or ask robin to make you an editor.

    There is probably an explanation in a thread somewhere. Help files maybe?

    P.S. Thank you for bringing it up. It’s an under utilized feature imo.

    I don't have any specific posts in mind, but I have noticed some that would be useful in a number of different threads since I first noticed the feature. I'll send Robin a message to see if he's willing to grant me edit access.

    Thanks!

    A wiki style post in each thread would be great too if possible.

    I kinda wish the key posts were more obvious somehow, especially on the owners/club threads. It seems like almost every new owner will wander into the club thread and say “hey I have this problem with my game, has anyone ever run into this?” when there’s 5 key posts and 400 other posts already about it. It’s maddening.

    Someone should make this a keypost.

    It would be nice if the originator of a thread could automatically be able to mark key posts in it.
